Here's everything you need to know about the documentary, including who will be making an appearance and what to expect from the hour-long special.
What will Inside No. 9: The Party's Over cover?
In The Party's Over, cameras track Pemberton and Shearsmith as they and shoot the final ever season of Inside No. 9 – comprising of episodes Boo to a Goose, The Trolley Problem, Mulberry Close, CTRL ALT ESC, The Curse of The Ninth and Plodding On.
The documentary features footage Pemberton and Shearsmith filmed of each other from their phones, as well as giving a film crew access to all areas of their production; the writers' room to the rehearsals, the props department to the sets.
The show's production team and cast from the anthology series appear in interviews to give their take on the scripts, why they signed up for an appearance on Inside No. 9, and their favourite moments from filming.
As they reflect on their past decade of work, Steve and Reece also delve into their careers as a comedic duo – including the show that shot them to fame, The League of Gentlemen, and their smash-hit Psychoville.
